Hiding out in South Korea in my mind. I watch so much K-Drama, I'm not sure if I live in New Jersey or Seoul.<br /><br />If you feel like something new and you're SICK TO DEATH of what's on TV, try some sweet but insightful Korean shows that will warm your heart and make you think! I promise you; they're not Hallmark! (Not that there's anything wrong with that! 😂)<div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">You may think K-Dramas are just Romance...but they are soooo much more. They often touch on powerful topics like suicide, poverty, parental-children struggles. They even tackle the North Korea/South Korea divide...and give you a look into how they view the heartbreaking split of what many wish was one beautiful country. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">They also love a good right-left, up-down in other ways; this universe vs that universe...modern day vs the past...etc.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">One more thing I love is that female characters are often tough cookies in Korean drama. A lot of storylines are centered around women kicking ass and taking names, no matter if they're a high level executive or a single mother raising kids in really difficult circumstances. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: red;">DISCLAIMER #1</span>: Many older trailers are not great; don't pick a show based on a trailer.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: red;">DISCLAIMER #2:</span> Some Title Translations are not great; don't pick based on Title!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: red;">DISCLAIMER #3</span>: ONLY watch with SUBTITLES! Don't bother watching dubbed versions. The voices are NOT the actors' voices. You won't get the cadence and sarcasm at all. Trust me. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Dubbing sucks in ANY language but the Korean language will be like music to your ears once you give it a chance. It definitely should't be avoided. (Trust me; I never thought I would love it, and now I'm trying to learn it!) </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And again, when it comes to the titles? Oy. (Or aigoooo as Koreans would say!) I laughed at "Crash Landing on You" for months until I watched it and realized it's one of the best Korean shows you'll find. I'm so thankful I didn't miss this thought-provoking show. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Here are the Korean shows I've watched, in the order I watched them:</div><div style="text-align: left;">(🥰 = favorites list)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><b>My Holo Love 🥰 </b>(You never forget your first!) </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><b>The King - Eternal Monarch 🥰 </b>(My all time fave. ❤️)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: times;">It's OK to Not Be OK 🥰</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: times;">Crash Landing on You 🥰</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: times;">Something in the Rain</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: times;">Start Up</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: times;">Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: times;">The King's Affection</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: times;">What's Wrong with Secretary Kim? 🥰</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: times;">Itaewon Class 🥰</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: times;">Our Beloved Summer</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><b>The Silent Sea </b>(So good but not a K-Drama; more serious)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: times;">Hometown cha-cha-cha 🥰</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: times;">My Shy Boss </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: times;">Reply 1988 🥰</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;"><b>Pachinko 🥰</b> (This is a book adaptation.

Where are all the Outlander, Bronze Horseman and Seyit and Sura fans?? You need to see this. Subtitles and all. (Lord help me, please don't watch it dubbed.) <div><br /></div><div>Obviously you can't compare it to the above stories as they're historical fiction, and this is modern day (actually there are a ton of flashbacks)...but you CAN compare the feel of it and the fact that it doesn't fit into any one category. </div><div><br /></div><div>If you're a fan of Romance, Science fiction, Mystery, Adventure, and Comedy, this one is definitely for you! ❤️<div><br /></div><div> </div></div>

And that is a ridiculous description because it's fast-paced and thriller-esque in spots, all while being a lovely romance that reminds me of the 80s. Loved every second and can't wait for Season 2. What I wouldn't do to have my very own Holo! 😍Although I fear I'd be taking him to the casinos, a la Rain Man.

I bet this book was really good. But this film was so...not. Visually, it was beautiful. And most of the acting was pretty decent. But the holes. Lordddddddd the holes. So many unanswered questions; things that don't make sense even ten minutes after you've finished watching. What the actual hell? It's such a shame when a film isn't done well and could have been absolutely spectac. </p><p>PS - the similarities to the Crave series are comical. (Why do you think I picked it on Netflix? Duh!) I'm guessing Tracy Wolff read/watched this too. Just a hunch. LOL </p>

Crave SERIES spoilers ahead...<div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aAPu8xdYu48/YFD3GxmCV6I/AAAAAAAAPQ4/mAuJV8-yRiImu68aO8Yz2wK-9_ap90ghACLcBGAsYHQ/s900/TW-Covet-600x900.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="600" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aAPu8xdYu48/YFD3GxmCV6I/AAAAAAAAPQ4/mAuJV8-yRiImu68aO8Yz2wK-9_ap90ghACLcBGAsYHQ/w133-h200/TW-Covet-600x900.jpg" width="133" /></a></div>I have finished Covet. Lord help me. There is one more book in the series, "Court", coming out in September...but as they say in Blackjack, I think I'm going to "stand." <div><br /></div><div>I'll probably wait for the film/show because I just don't think I have another read in me, no matter how much I enjoyed the first three books (and wanted to throw them across the room at times.) </div><div><br /></div><div>The Crave series has the potential to be amazing on screen, if they hire the right actors and spend an exorbitant about of money on cinematography and CGI. However, please stick a fork in me. Between the intense situations, various holes, and repetitive nature of YA romance (which, admittedly, I read by choice)...these books are exhausting. I feel like I need a vacation. </div><div><br /></div><div>Not to mention there is just such a stark contrast between Book 1; Crave...and the rest of the series. I've never been able to get past it. </div><div><br /></div><div>I've <a href="https://www.mypurgatory.com/2021/03/covet-has-anyone-seen-my-book-series.html" target="_blank">already beaten</a> the dead "why create an amazing character and then sideline him" horse. But bottom line, I am - and will always be - a Jaxon Vega girl. Just like Grace stands up for what she believes in; so do I. Which means I won't apologize for it. Hudson is an intelligent guy with a lot of snark and sass...but Jaxon's a vampire. End of story. 🖤</div></div>Purgatory Carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04206226666250028550noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1685517516976833615.post-3675945360573789772021-03-16T10:58:00.006-07:002021-03-21T07:55:22.851-07:00Covet: Has Anyone Seen My Book Series? <div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYAmHqgCZXD55QZ7VSSdk5t1t6G4jqSUTlCe5cK6puF5_ULMHxA_es4IV9PuMiUqXgvBzE6v_lQ_acvRahICLOFrYS2XMixUiLTUNe5iMIcc91qigY4x9FgoaUaDipeB8JZxGb1LbDnxX8/s900/TW-Covet-600x900.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="600" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYAmHqgCZXD55QZ7VSSdk5t1t6G4jqSUTlCe5cK6puF5_ULMHxA_es4IV9PuMiUqXgvBzE6v_lQ_acvRahICLOFrYS2XMixUiLTUNe5iMIcc91qigY4x9FgoaUaDipeB8JZxGb1LbDnxX8/w128-h192/TW-Covet-600x900.jpg" width="128" /></a></div>MAJOR COVET SPOILERS AHEAD!!! Read at your own risk!!! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">WTF am I reading? Tracy Wolff, why have you forsaken me?? One minute I'm happily plugging along on Crave, a good, solid YA vampire novel, being wowed every other minute and worshiping at the alter of Jaxon Vega. And the next, I'm wading through a barrage of immature Hudson Vega quips and wondering where the strong and sassy Grace went. Because she she started disappearing in Crush and I can't find her at ALL in Covet. If the intention is to throw so much sickeningly sweet Hudson and Grace flirting at us that we have to stop in the middle of the chapter we JUST STARTED to get online and bitch about this book because we literally CAN'T STAND READING IT, then hear hear to a job well done. (Almost as good as my run-on sentence skills.)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Normally I would never, ever yell at an author in a blog post. But yeah, I'm talking to you, Tracy-without-an-e. Because I'm mad. I'm so mad I could spit nails. First series in a LONG ASSED TIME that I was SMITTEN over and had me reading under the covers at 3 am. I told so many people to read this series because Crave was a good, solid paranormal novel with interesting characters whose lives you wanted to dig into...and a plot that made you sit up and pay attention to what was going to happen next. I could not WAIT to get my hands on Crush and Covet once I read Crave. And when I did, I could not believe you could take this PERFECT VAMPIRE who YOU CREATED...and turn him into chopped liver before our eyes. And why? WHY???? (I wonder if Nancy Kerrigan has read this?) You gave him to us and then ripped him away before we knew what was happening! Why would you do that? You tainted your own series!! It's like when Kurt Sutter canceled The Bastard Executioner after one season!! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Let me back up a little here. I like Tracy Wolff's writing. I RESPECT her and her years of hard work and dedication. She obviously has tremendous literary abilities. I recently listened to an interview she gave on a podcast and have been looking forward to reading another of her book series, as soon as I'm finished Covet.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But Tracy, all of that doesn't change the fact that you have left countless people - from teens to grandparents - HEARTBROKEN, with your confusing neglect of Jaxon Vega, a guy who wanted to protect Grace because SHE WAS A HUMAN WHEN THEY MET. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And it is crystal clear that the goal of this series - only made evident AFTER we all fell in love with Crave - is to prove a feminist point that women are strong and don't need to a man to solve their problems; they can do it on their own. Only one problem. Hudson "steps in front of Grace" TIME AND TIME AGAIN in Covet, to protect her. How is that any different from Jaxon??? I'll tell you how; Jaxon would have listened to Grace when she told him something bothered her, and he would've felt really bad from the word go. Not Hudson though. He's constantly making rude little comments and fighting with Grace when she dares to call him out...because he thinks he's so much better than not only her, but everyone else, too. Yeah, yeah, he's "insecure" deep down. Not buyin' it. Sorry not sorry.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> <br />The BICKERING is insufferable (when they're not gazing into each others' eyes.) And when he REALLY hurts Grace's feelings, what does he do? He sulks...and then apologizes. Time and time again. Hurt...sulk...apologize. Hurt...sulk...apologize. Tell me THAT isn't a slippery slope and a pattern we've all heard before. What kind of lesson is that teaching young people about a healthy relationship? </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Lastly, Grace's treatment of Jaxon is absolutely unforgivable. This girl started the series commanding such high regard of the characters and the readers. Now, she's become selfish as hell and only cares about herself. HER mating bond. HER feelings. HER needs. HER power. Jaxon took her to see the Northern Lights, and took her to make a snowman, and found her tacos and was THERE FOR HER when she needed - YES, NEEDED - his help. And she's made excuse after excuse. He's not perfect, but my god, woman...you cut his heart right out of his chest and ate it for lunch! You wanna talk power? Just stand up, SAY HOW YOU FEEL, and be with Hudson since that's what you've wanted since Crush started (or you wouldn't have left Jaxon alone so many times.) Don't sit around being passive aggressive and telling yourself Jaxon's done something wrong. Because he hasn't.

Everything is about her. How SHE feels about Hudson and how SHE feels about Jaxon (say it soft and it’s almost like praying.🖤) </p><p>Right now we’re in Jackson’s tower and she’s seeing all his workout equipment for the first time and SHE doesn’t like it. It doesn’t make HER feel good. You know what? How about taking two seconds and realizing other people exist besides you, and they have feelings too? We haven’t even seen him in the scene yet and I already know he’s doing all this working out because he’s beating himself up over the fact that he was helpless while she was in the ring. And I’m thinking about how horrific this whole thing has been for him and how this must be killing him. But not her, Grace is just thinking about the fact that all of the things SHE loved about this room are gone. POOR YOU! (said like Tony Soprano‘s mother)</p><p>If I am to get through this book, Flint better get busy cracking more jokes in the middle of class, to take my mind off of Grace’s selfishness about all of her many suitors.

<b><span style="color: red;">SPOILER ALERT:</span></b> DO NOT - under ANY circumstances - read this unless you have seen Episode 36 in Seyit and Sura. (Unless you love spoilers, in which case, read on!)<br />
<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eLdOnxksUq8/WxGjRcvynJI/AAAAAAAAJ54/dpbs1woJrlYhn2WZCdPBO6-iD8uhQgXcQCLcBGAs/s1600/onabreak.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="215" data-original-width="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eLdOnxksUq8/WxGjRcvynJI/AAAAAAAAJ54/dpbs1woJrlYhn2WZCdPBO6-iD8uhQgXcQCLcBGAs/s1600/onabreak.jpg" /></a>OK so after temporarily breaking up with Seyit and Sura due to 1) the overpowering reality of their <br />
relationship's demise setting in, 2) too much crying for one sane person, and 3) being OVER IT with the Jack Tripper shenanigans (#Petro #Ayse)...I trod lightly BACK into Istanbul waters last night and watched Eps 34 - 36.<br />
<br />
BOY am I glad I did. Nothing better to get you over heartache than to watch your favorite lead character transform himself into a MAJOR ASS OF EPIC PROPORTIONS right in front of your eyes...all while Sura is handling herself with grace (when she's not swigging from a vodka bottle), dignity (when she's not throwing the aforementioned vodka bottle across the room) and just a little too much Petro-friendliness (we all have our weaknesses.) But let's be honest; Seyit has become something SOOOO unfathomably different than that the Russian soldier we fell in love with.<br />
<br />
WHAT is with the attitude toward Sura? Oh right, she's a little too tight with Petro. Fine. I get it.<br />
<br />
WHAT is with the handlebar mustache? Ew. Just, no. Just, ew. OK it was "in" at the time. I get it.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q7jMILdZ-WA/WxVS6KeDgsI/AAAAAAAAJ6c/UGNy2BXcbE0bXWvkfxazv5kBD4qcNnTZQCLcBGAs/s1600/johntravolata.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="289" data-original-width="300" height="192" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q7jMILdZ-WA/WxVS6KeDgsI/AAAAAAAAJ6c/UGNy2BXcbE0bXWvkfxazv5kBD4qcNnTZQCLcBGAs/s200/johntravolata.png" width="200" /></a>WHAT is with the clothes? Hey Seyit, Tony Manero called, he wants his vest back. UGH. Yes, yes...1920s Istanbul. I GET IT!!<br />
<br />
Perhaps I am just lying to myself myself that I am not at all interested in this guy...but watching poor Sura hang on to their dying relationship is bringing back horrifying memories from old boyfriends I'd rather forget.<br />
<br />
And now we come to the dreaded proposal.<br />
<br />
ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME, SEYIT?!?! <br />
<br />
Once again, you saw Sura having fun, which you should WANT HER TO DO after she STAYED IN ISTANBUL FOR YOU, got your business up and running while you were in jail, cries daily for you...you IDIOT. (Incidentally, I spat "IDIOT" at the screen about 5 times last night during the dreaded Episode 36.)<br />
<br />
So your SPITEFUL, JEALOUS, STUBBORN ass is just going to run over there and propose to someone you don't know. YOU DON'T KNOW HER, Seyit!! What are you, a complete MORON?!?<br />
<br />
OMG I have to stop. I get myself so crazed...and so much of this did NOT even happen!!<br />
<br />
And I keep remembering that if Seyit never married Murka, the lovely Nermin Bezmen would never have been born. And that, my friends, would just be a tragedy, in and of itself. ❤️<br />
<br />
So if you want a good representation of what *did* happen (in a page or two), take a look at Ginger Monette's outstanding WWI/Historical Fiction blog where she has interviews with Nermin Bezmen <a href="https://www.gingermonette.com/single-post/2018/01/06/InterviewNerminBezmenPartI" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://www.gingermonette.com/single-post/2018/02/19/Kivan%C3%A7TatlitugonKSvSSet" target="_blank">here</a>. (BEWARE; they're a quagmire of spoiler reality.)<br />
<br />
Or just buy <a href="https://amzn.to/2Jh8vCq" target="_blank">Kurt Seyt & Shura</a> and pour over it like I have been.<br />
<br />
And I'm warning you; you'll cry a lot...like I just did in the garage, with my back to my son, so he wouldn't see that Mom is crying - once again - about people she does not know, who have been dead for half a century...and it's only 10:15 in the morning.<br />
<br />
As much as I tell myself I hate Kurt Seyit, to get through these last 9 episodes, I'm completely and utterly full of caca. I am so smitten with just the mere thought of the memory of "Seyit and Sura" that it will take me a long time to get out from under this massive cloud of their eternal love.<br />
<br />
In more formal terms; it will last for all eternity. 💔<br />
<br />
Informal terms?<br />
<br />
That shit will just never go away. ☺️😢<br />

<b><span style="color: red;">SPOILER ALERT</span></b>: Do not read unless you've watched up through Episode 33 of Kurt Seyit ve Sura.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yaF6pdb7gCw/Ww4ZbIRdv9I/AAAAAAAAJ5A/Amt54plWXUY9iWV38wOpQyS-QRG9OKYdQCLcBGAs/s1600/fonzie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="180" data-original-width="320" height="112" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yaF6pdb7gCw/Ww4ZbIRdv9I/AAAAAAAAJ5A/Amt54plWXUY9iWV38wOpQyS-QRG9OKYdQCLcBGAs/s200/fonzie.jpg" width="200" /></a>Oh. My. God. (said like Janice from "Friends.") How on EARTH did we get here? Last night I was bawling my eyes out and tonight I'm shaking my head and having visions of Fonzie in a leather jacket and tighty whiteys.<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Is it me??? </span></b><br />
<br />
I mean, are you KIDDING me??? FIRST we've got the Baroness telling Sura all sorts of sordid tales...because of her loveeeee for Seyit. Then we've got kooky Ayse and her bed antics...because she's so in loveeeee with Seyit. Then we had barfly whatshername? Vera? Who wanted a big ol' piece of Seyit...and GOT one. And now...now that he lived through war and lived through a fire and lived through prison - TWICE - now we've got this NEWBIE PAIN IN MY ASS who seems to be internally battling her cray cray mother's wishes - as much as wearing her hijab - and INSTANTLY SHE, too, is in loveeeeee with Seyit. (Despite his horrific, Three Amigos-esque mustache.)<br />
<br />
For the love of all that's holy. Is anyone NOT in love with Seyit on this damn show?!?<br />
<br />
And so many things are NOT adding up. I repeat: HOW DID THIS HAPPEN??? Last night Sura was kissing Seyit after the fire and telling him she wouldn't move one step away from him...and tonight she's telling him she's going to stay in the BLOOD MONEY CONDO that Petro rents for her...and not Seyit's room upstairs in the laundry...because she doesn't want to be away from Tina, who is always trying to break her the hell up with Seyit!!<br />
<br />
And it's only been 8 MONTHS!!! NOT years; MONTHS!! And there's Sura going onnnn and onnnn about her kooky, crazy, rip-roaring good times with those zany pals Tina and Petro...while poor Seyit is trying to forget eating roaches and smelling like ass...on a GOOD prison day.<br />
<br />
And don't get me wrong. Do NOT get me wrong; I have a lot of respect for some of the decisions Sura is making. Bottom line, Seyit? IF YOU LIKE IT, PUT A DAMN RING ON IT!!! HOW long is this poor soul supposed to be your mistress in the early 1920s and be at your beck and call? Take her down to the damn registry office, buy Celil some lunch for his time with your paperwork, and MARRY THE POOR GIRL ALREADY!!!!<br />
<br />
10 episodes left. TEN. And I am fearing the worst. I already saw a spoiler shot of Seyit walking down the street with Newbie chick...and I'm pretty sure they were arm in arm. And I've been flipping the hell out for 10 eps or so, worrying that it might have been Ayse or Alya. Little did I know they were going to introduce another drop-dead gorgeous woman into this drama, and once again threaten any possibility of Seyit and Sura ending up together.<br />
<br />
I HAVE HAD IT!!! THIS happens to test their love...and THAT happens to test their love. At first, it was downright spectacular, because it made for great conflict. But now, the MISUNDERSTANDINGS are starting to multiply SO much that we're almost to the point of feeling like we're watching THREE'S COMPANY and wondering if Jack Tripper is down at the Regal Beagle getting into all kinds of new shenanigans!!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KC-8Rh8S3wo/Ww6eufYUFQI/AAAAAAAAJ5c/dHtMwDzUQeQCt0bV5qXaw-UKmIdVzQCSACLcBGAs/s1600/seyitsuraselfie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="480" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KC-8Rh8S3wo/Ww6eufYUFQI/AAAAAAAAJ5c/dHtMwDzUQeQCt0bV5qXaw-UKmIdVzQCSACLcBGAs/s200/seyitsuraselfie.jpg" width="200" /></a>Seriously!! Tonight, we were FINALLY getting some RELIEF once Seyit and Sura SEEMED to be back together (and taking the first ever positively adorable in every way SELFIE)...and Seyit is secretly planning his wedding (at the dining room table out in the open) with Uncle Ali (who I love almost as much as Celil, btw) and DAAANAAAA...WHO is behind Door Number 3??? None other than Petro!! Isn't that great?? So ONCE A-FRIGGIN-GAIN we're going to be taken on a roller coaster ride while Petro screws up Seyit's plans - and both his and Sura's happiness together.<br />
<br />
I CAN NOT TAKE THIS SHIT ONE MORE SECOND!! I am too old for all this agita!!!! I have my OWN problems in life!!! This was supposed to be ENTERTAINMENT!!!<br />
<br />
I have one thing to ask: SHOULD I KEEP WATCHING THIS SHOW? Because I'm going to tell you right now...right here and now: <u><b>If Seyit and Sura don't end up together at the end of this season I am going to lose my friggin mind, all over every form of social media there is</b></u>. Facebook, Twitter, hell...I might even resurrect my old bios on AOL and MySpace and bitch all over the place there, too.<br />
<br />
PLEASE tell me I'm not watching this show in vain. PLEASE tell me I'm not going to be incredibly sad when this is all over (although I'm pretty damned sad now, so I'm not sure if being more sad is even possible.)<br />
<br />
PLEASE tell me Petro's going to get found out.<br />
<br />
PLEASE tell me Seyit and Sura are going to get married.<br />
<br />
PLEASE tell me Nermin Bezmin is not only Kurt Seyit Eminof's granddaughter, but Sura's too.<br />
<span style="color: red;"><u><b><br /></b></u></span>
<span style="color: red;"><u><b>All kidding aside, guys...don't tell me anything</b></u></span>; I'm just really upset. I just don't know if I have the strength to SUFFER through 10 more TUMS-inducing episodes, only to walk away with my heart completely broken. 💔<br />

<br />
And please, all of my awesome drama-loving buds, please don't post spoilers in the comments. I have another 15 or 16 episodes to go and have been avoiding the internet like the plague right now. Read on to find out why.<br />
<br />
"<i>2 AM and I'm still awake writing a song. If I get it down on paper it's no longer inside of me, threatening the life it belongs to. And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd, 'cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud. And I know that you'll use them however you want to</i>." <b>~Breathe </b>by<b> Anna Nalick</b><br />
<br />
Those are lines from one of my favorite songs, that I've used in blog posts before, and here I am using them again. Why? Because I was about to get into bed...yet had to come downstairs to my BFF, aka my MacBook Pro, and get all of this vivid static out of my brain or I'll never be able to sleep.<br />
<br />
Another line I'm going to tackle, as I also have before, is this:<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">"<i>Why Purgatory</i>?"</span></b><br />
<br />
Let me try to explain.<br />
<br />
I have now watched 30 episodes of Kurt Seyit and Sura. And I am exhausted. Never has a story had more of a vice grip on my soul. My dueling sense of all-encompassing fascination and shameless hyper-focus makes me question the depths of my seemingly addictive personality, and I'm not sure I'm winning this fight.<br />
<br />
Tonight, after Seyit and Sura finally sat down and talked on the bench at the beach, just before Sura was shot, I had to stop the show and hug my husband...and cry. Oh lord, did I cry. I'm not quite sure he knew what to do as it was happening. I told him, "<i>You're my real life Seyit</i>" while I was blubbering. Somehow it helped to remind myself that these aren't real people (at least in 2018) and I am safe at home with someone who loves me. I have no Petro (that I know of), no Ayse (Lord help us all if I did), and no Baroness who might be gunning for the demise of my lovely, 28 year relationship with a beautiful man who loves me, unconditionally, at any given moment.<br />
<br />
And that, really, is the crux of the problem. The crux of MY problem with this show. OH NOT that I have a problem with the show, other than the fact that it makes me want to turn to a crack pipe as methadone. OH no, no, no. The problem I have is within myself, and the things I find I cannot handle, emotionally, while riding this Seyit and Sura roller coaster. On one hand, I could handle it if Sura was leaving, <i>knowing</i> what Seyit had <i>actually</i> done. (Although I'm still holding out silly hope we'll meet Vera? again and find out he passed out while calling Sura's name). And I could handle it if Seyit knew what Sura mistakenly thought had happened between him and Ayse (God forBID because I loathe that woman from the bottom of my shredded soul.) But what I CANNOT begin to accept are the decisions they've been making while <u>not knowing the truth</u>. The truth shall set you free...wait...sorry...the tears are coming again. Be right back...<br />
<br />
OK where was I? Oh right. <i>The truth shall set you free</i>. And I have just been such a wreck over this mangled, mixed-up MESS of a once-beautiful life together that they are trying to sift through. Because WE know what's real, but THEY don't. I can't even stand to look at that Ayse, and I thank God every day for Ayla, because she feeds Sura AND Seyit as much truth as she can. And that leads me to the best character in the show...<br />
<br />
Celil.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZopKWXYe4EI/WwzbTf-jZYI/AAAAAAAAJ3w/vIGkEkjRQtgRm7qpyN0WukxXQ-JgtakmQCLcBGAs/s1600/celil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1190" data-original-width="1449" height="163" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZopKWXYe4EI/WwzbTf-jZYI/AAAAAAAAJ3w/vIGkEkjRQtgRm7qpyN0WukxXQ-JgtakmQCLcBGAs/s200/celil.jpg" width="200" /></a>"<i>Say it soft and it's almost like praying</i>..." ~Leonard Bernstein<br />
<br />
Celil is kind. Celil is decent. (Shit! Crying again...) Celil is just...so...<b>good</b>. He is everything that's right and unblemished in this world...and somehow Ushan Cakir's face seems to convey that near-piety so perfectly, it's impossible to take your eyes off him (even when Kivanç Tatlitug is on the screen with him.)<br />
<br />
Without Celil, I would be lost. My mind would be adrift on a godless sea of doubt and despair. Celil comes along at just the right moment, surprises the hell out of us, and does something unrepentantly decent. And it's usually quite a surprise for the audience. When Celil told Tina to take a hike and went into that hospital room and talked to Sura...which caused her to tell him about creepy Ayse's bed antics, my heart almost leapt right out of my chest and planted a massive smacker right on his face across the room on my Samsung. Because THAT is what I need from this story. The truth. I need the TRUTH to come out so everyone is on an even playing field and can make their own, rational decisions. Which brings me to a bit of a complaint (not of the show, but of the characters' brilliantly drawn ignorance):<br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M__SUHsIBV8/WwzcM2C7KzI/AAAAAAAAJ34/u9uFpwVBEIEWIdjHcNi3dT1_U5cITGCEgCLcBGAs/s1600/surahfarah.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="286" data-original-width="236" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M__SUHsIBV8/WwzcM2C7KzI/AAAAAAAAJ34/u9uFpwVBEIEWIdjHcNi3dT1_U5cITGCEgCLcBGAs/s200/surahfarah.jpg" width="165" /></a>Stop shielding Sura!!! She's the smartest, most reasonable person on the whole damn show!!! She's not 16 anymore!!! She's seen things that even Captain Douchebag Billy hasn't had to deal with in her young life...so leave her alone and LET HER DECIDE FOR HERSELF!!! Tell her the truth (and that goes ESPECIALLY for you, SEYIT) and let her make some rational, logical decisions, based on that truth, for the love of all that is holy in this world.<br />
<br />
And as I see the clock it ticking even faster than it was when I sat down, I will start to wrap this up, because I'll be up in a few hours driving kids to school. But here's MY unmitigated truth:<br />
<br />
When Sura ran into that courtyard during the fire, grabbed Seyit and told him she loved him and would never be away from him again, I have never been so happy in my whole life. (I'm not even doing my Long Duck Dong accent while saying that; THAT is how serious I am about these feelings.) THAT is what it's all about. THAT is what we've needed for what, something like TEN episodes??? Just unbridled RAW EMOTION. And fear. FEAR is what made her say "to HELL with him not being able to keep it in his annoyingly over-worn black dress pants; I LOVE the sonofabitch!" And it was seriously one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Ever. Because let me tell you, THAT is what it's all about. I rewound right in the middle of it, just so I could see HIS arm around HER during that whole thing...and those 10 seconds of mutual adoration made it all OK when they dragged him off in cuffs. I could/might seriously stop watching RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT because I am so completely satiated from that otherworldly moment...and don't want anything to happen to alter it's sublime impact on my tattered heart.<br />
<br />

<b>Spoiler Alert:</b> Do not read unless you've watched up through Episode 13 in <a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/80037484" target="_blank">Kurt Seyit ve Sura</a>.<br />
<br />
Dear God. What has Seyit done to me? I am a mess. I dream about him and Sura and all their trials and tribulations. (And Celil, too, because there is something delicious about him!) Are these people ever going to be free from turmoil? (Shhhh! Don't answer that! NO spoilers! The anticipation is half the fun of this show!)<br />
<br />
You guys...I am seriously smitten with every second of this series. Not only that, I'm quickly becoming obsessed with thoughts of far off places like Crimea and Turkey...and I can't stop staring at Turkey on the My Origins page on FTDNA.<br />
<br />

That's right, y'all. <b><span style="font-size: large;">TWENTY ONE PERCENT!!! </span></b><br />
<br />
When I told my dad, he was all "<i>You have too much time on your hands!</i>" because it means he's not 100% Italian American like he thought. LOL<br />
<br />
And any of you who are going to throw a bunch of statistics at me about DNA testing and bogus results, just SAVE IT! I don't want to hear it. lalalalalalala :::fingers in ears::: I know. Whatever. Yada Yada. I am happy living here at 21 Turkishville and I'm not leaving for a long time, no matter what my DNA really says about me.<br />
<br />
OK so here's the scoop on where I am. Seyit took Sura to Crimea because life was imploding in Petrograd (where jerky Petro lives) and her family had to leave their house in _______ (where did they live? I'm too afraid to Google.) OMG when she found out he was still alive and they were STAYING IN THE SAME HOTEL when he got back from the front??? Oh I almost lost my shiz and had to hightail it to the local hospital for friggin injections (of what, I'm not quite sure.) This show is the TASTIEST MORSEL I've had in a long, long time.<br />
<br />
Observations:<br />

OK that's it for me. In tonight's ep, Seyit and Celil will be heading to the farm to protect Meanie McSeyit's dad and they threw Sura and Celil's girlfriend (why can't I ever remember her name?) in the coach with Mahmut's wife, who is STILL bitching. "<i>I don't want to go with them! Waaahhhh</i>!" Listen, chickie, Mahmut is not only risking DYING to get YOUR ass out of Crimea, but he's also secretly LEAVING HIS FAMILY forever!! And seeing as Seyit has already cornered the market on THAT trick, you might want to PIPE DOWN and let the man get the job done, mmmkayyyy???<br />
<br />
Stay tuned!!!<br />
<br />
Oh and PS...you're welcome. Thanks to EM for the hot shot.<br />
